Julia Stiles Vegan Regret–“EcoStiletto” Interview

There’s nothing worse than when a former vegetarian celebrity goes public and disses the lifestyle. Many of you were ready to rip the burger from Julia Stiles‘ mouth when she used the word orgasm to describe eating meat again after being vegan.

She wants you to know she’s sorry.

“I regret going on a talk show and talking about it,” Julia said. “I was young and impressionable and trying to be funny.”

Sure, Julia, blame it on youth.

Here’s more of what Julia had to say on vegetarianism from EcoStiletto:

On her present vegetarian status:
If I go to someone’s house I won’t make a stink, but I don’t choose to eat that much meat. I love fish, though. That’s probably bad, too. But you have to eat something, right?

On why she went vegan:
Not so much animal rights, but for health reasons. I just started reading more about factory farming and I didn’t want to be consuming that. And there are some spiritual reasons that I got into it, too. It’s weird to talk about, it’s a personal thing, but also I didn’t like the taste of meat that much. And I was grossed out by hormones in dairy products.

I’d never want to be preachy because I think what people choose to eat is their own personal decision. But I was saddened by the idea of the cows in diary pens and what they’re forced to eat—corn that they weren’t ever meant to digest. But there are ways to be super unhealthy as a vegan—all that processed food.

    Well, it’s great that she was apologetic about it. I’m sure it was just a misstatement, as she said.
